The Oilers are utilizing their offense as the key factor in their current great season, notching 3.53 goals per game with their scores amounting to 17 goals in the last five games. The top two lines, helmed by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, set an offensive rhythm. That is unmatched by the other players in the lineup. Among the highest goal scorers and playmakers for the team are Zach Hyman, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Evander Kane who have an overall of 79 goals and 63 assists. The defensemen from the point, Evan Bouchard and Mattias Ekholm contribute 19 goals and 77 assists for added offense opening up the lead.
The Blue Jackets are currently having a terrible season. Their offense is not doing well and scoring only 2.28 goals on average per game. We have Gaudreau Tom the Ukrainian and Voronkov Dmitri who have 43 goals and 64 assists and others. The rest of the roster has disappointed a lot as well. With the magnitude of goals scored decreasing striking only 10 times or more has been attainable and as a result it is favorable for opponents to limit the top-heavy offense as well.
Columbus Blue Jackets: Boone Jenner, Alexander Nylander, Johnny Gaudreau, Zach Werenski, Adam Boqvist
